Florida hung tough despite a host of issues in the first half of Monday night’s NCAA Tournament championship game against Houston. Despite being outrebounded, outmuscled and outshot, not to mention receiving 0 points from star guard Walter Clayton Jr., the Gators trailed by only 3 points at the break. The result of all this? That 31-28 Houston edge ballooned to 42-30 in less than four minutes.

The Athletic has in-depth coverage of the 2025 Men's Final Four. The men's NCAA Tournament started with 68 teams and plenty of March Madness dreams. Three weeks and 66 games later, we're set for Monday's national championship game, where the fun will come to its conclusion as Florida and Houston meet in San Antonio. It's been an interesting and unusual tournament, one notably short on Cinderellas and decidedly heavy on big-conference dominance.

If you picked a Cinderella or two to reach the Final Four, we are sorry for your brackets. Still, despite a lack of big-time upsets, the NCAA Tournament has been intense, dramatic and, for the most part, competitive. It might not be what everybody wanted, but we’ve seen a different kind of history this year, as all four No. 1 seeds advanced to the men’s Final Four for only the second time. Even more remarkable, three of the four No. 1 seeds in the women’s tournament also reached the Final Four.
